If you are interested in this course but cannot make the investment at this time, noted below is a free resource I developed in 2020 when I was training to become a dietitian. I still stand by the information and recommendations written here; many points overlap with the points I share in this course, but the content is fairly distinct. Approach this free resource as a practical, self-guided workbook for developing intuitive eating skills with a biblical framework. I think it’s most useful for someone who struggles with food, body image, and exercise, but does not feel consumed and emotionally overwhelmed by disordered thoughts. This would also be an appropriate tool for someone to read through after reviewing this course’s content.
This course, on the other hand, is focused more on Christian apologetics, where we concentrate on our liberation from the enemy’s lies and culture’s harmful dieting trends, discriminatory messages, and weight-biased lens through the Gospel. There’s an emphasis on our hearts, rebuilding our relationships with food, our bodies, and exercise with a foundation full of God-given truths, before we take external actions to care for ourselves in a way that glorifies God. Naturally, having been developed after a few more years of maturing in the Lord and walking alongside eating disorder patients as a pediatric dietitian, this course contains new information and recommendations to encourage and support you.
